Malone Commercial Brokers’ Post

I have visited South Beach many times as an Ohio University undergrad. Being a cold-weather college kid, I loved the sun and sand getaways to break up some serious study sessions. However, if I were still that kooky coed, I would have to pick another destination because Miami Beach just broke up with spring break! Good Idea Versus... 🙂 Sustainability Focus: Shifting away from the Spring Break frenzy demonstrates a commitment to sustainable tourism, protecting Miami Beach's natural beauty for future generations. 🙂 Quality Experience: By reducing overcrowding, visitors can enjoy a higher quality experience, free from the chaos often associated with Spring Break. 🙂 Cultural Promotion: Highlighting the diverse cultural offerings of Miami Beach encourages visitors to explore beyond the party scene, fostering a deeper appreciation for the destination. Bad Idea 🙁 Loss of Revenue: Spring Break has historically been a lucrative time for businesses in Miami Beach. Breaking up with Spring Break could result in a temporary loss of revenue for local businesses reliant on tourism. 🙁 Brand Image Impact: Miami Beach's reputation as a Spring Break hotspot may need to improve initially, potentially deterring younger travelers who seek that specific experience. 🙁 Risk of Alienating Visitors: Some travelers may perceive the campaign as unwelcoming or exclusive, decreasing overall tourism numbers if not communicated effectively. While Miami Beach's decision to break up with Spring Break has its merits in terms of sustainability and enhancing visitor experiences, there are potential drawbacks to consider, including economic impacts and brand image perceptions. Finding a balance between responsible tourism practices and maintaining a vibrant tourism industry will be key. #MiamiBeach #BreakingUpWithSpringBreak #TourismCritique #UnderGrad #College #Getaway #Destination #SpringBreak #Sustainable #Tourism #Experience #Chaos #Cultural #Beach #Explore #PartyScene #Revenue #Businesses #BrandImage #Impact #Reputation #Travelers #Visitors #Campaign #Unwelcoming #Communication #Drawbacks #EconomicImpact #Branding #Marketing #Florida https://lnkd.in/ghQRdH9h

Generations in the Wild - KEY INSIGHT: Growing demand for well-developed campgrounds! As co-founder at Outdoorsy, I've always believed in staying closely attuned to what families want from their vacation experience. So our strategy to invest in owning and operating campgrounds was a great way to get to know our guests, face to face. This is even more important as 🌲the $1 trillion outdoor industry is evolving faster than ever and why we launched ‘Generations in the Wild’, Outdoorsy’s inaugural independent research report, which delves into the values and preferences of four generations of RVing American families. 🏕️ One standout discovery is that developed campgrounds are in high demand in 2024. In fact, 8 of 10 families prefer them. The challenge? America’s best RV parks are often booked months in advance. What exactly defines a well-developed campground? We think Outdoorsy Bayfield does a pretty good job of hitting all the marks. Think: ✨ Top-notch facilities: Spotless showers, bathrooms, outdoor kitchens, and inviting community areas. 🌿 Seamless online booking to the outdoors: From pools and pickleball courts to fishing, nature trails and dog friendly areas, easy access to nature for the whole family makes all the difference. 👩💼 Friendly, available staff: A warm Outdoorsy welcome and helpful assistance go a long way in creating a memorable stay. 🌟 Additional perks: Well-stocked general store, great WiFi connection, onsite food options, and enticing swag add extra flair to the camping experience..

Exhibit (pick a letter) of a Govt again exhibiting effectively little understanding or comprehension of how a visitor economy intersects with a tourism reliant community. Most would have heard of the Mornington Peninsula. I’m proud to be on the local tourism board but I write as a concerned, experienced tourism executive and adviser & a former resident over recent years. Cracking place, beautiful nature, surf and portside, emergent quality spa region, awesome golf courses, some of the best pub vistas in the country & they tell us the local wineries make a pretty mean Pinot (they do, am just being floral with the words). The offering overwhelmingly delivered by hard working small to medium sized Enterprises. It is a very strong day trip destination, (the strongest in the big V) and has its (at least day trip and intrastate overnights) back to pre COVID levels. Over half of our close to 8m annual visitors come over the summer and spring and autumn shoulder edges. It also has the most popular passenger ferry route in the country connecting Sorrento and Queenscliff, the gateway to the Bellarine and Great Ocean Road! Searoad Ferries Strategically the region is building our great product out to spread the visitor volume & profile, more events away from peaks and working to sustain a year round visitor economy to help retain workforce and skills. Personally the MornPen works as a weekend getaway or midweek break over the winter months and you’re still only 1.5 hrs from Melbs for the footy at the G! So here’s the rub. A leaked Council memo/email has contents debating options around the effective closure of the always popular Main Street (Ocean Beach Road) of Sorrento & its key access points. Yep the place Tina Arena sings about. And let’s just pick some dates like oh between 18 Dec and out to possibly mid Jan. Yes options only (apparently) but surely these can’t be serious right in peak holiday season. The impact on locals, let alone visitors, of such a blunt idea, truly horrendous. The local chamber of commerce is about to get a briefing but it is all over Melbs highest rating talk station today. This is actually serious stuff. I hope and sense sanity prevails. Traffic management is a genuine issue in many destinations at busy times. But this is people’s livelihoods and the MornPen’s biggest industry. They’ve only had one proper Christmas since the retched virus & OTT restrictions which Victoria was infamous for. Let’s see the next moves. #vicpol #visitoreconomy #morningtonpeninsula #crazy #peakseason #summer #tourism #smallbusiness #victoria #visitvictoria #sorrento #tinaarena #portsea #foodandwine #pinot #golf #spa Nine #3AW #neilmitchell Sam Groth MP #traffic #trafficcones #badidea
